Scentience API Access Keys

Below are the steps to obtaining your Scentience API key in order to access the Scentience Sockets, UAV-Sockets, Bluetooth, and AI Model APIs.

Getting Your Scentience API Key

To use the Scentience API and AI services, you need a unique API key.
Your API key authenticates your requests and allows Scentience to track usage, enforce limits, and keep your account secure.

Step 1 — Sign in to the Scentience Dashboard

1. Go to dashboard.scentience.ai.
2. Log in with your Scentience account.

OR

1. Download the Scentience iOS app.
2. Login with your Scentience account

Step 2 — Generate an API Key

1. Navigate to API Keys in the left-hand menu.
2. Click Create New Key.
3. Choose a name (e.g., production app, testing, device integration).
4. Optionally set restrictions:
   • IP address restrictions
   • Usage quota
   • Expiration date

⚠️ Important: API keys are shown only once at creation. Copy and store it securely.
If you lose it, you’ll need to revoke and create a new key.

Step 3 — Use Your API Key

Include your key in the Authorization header of each request:

curl -X POST https://api.scentience.ai/v1/predict \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer SCN_API_KEY_HERE" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "sample data"}'

Step 4 — Manage Keys

• You can revoke or regenerate a key anytime from the dashboard.
• Old keys stop working immediately after revocation.
• Each account may hold multiple active keys, so you can separate environments (dev vs. prod).

Best Practices

• Keep keys secret — never embed them in your public code repositories.
• Use separate keys for different applications or environments.
• Rotate keys periodically for better security.
